Our room was really sweet and spacious.
a phone in the bathroom and the shower was different as the floor tilted a bit for the water to run down to the drain.
Public transportation is wonderful over there!
The Lewis
Flowers were for sale here and there in the city area and they were so beautiful

Glendalough Abby
of course have to add a pic of sheep and i really am the worst photographer here is the best one.
The food over there was really expensive and we were really lucky to find this lil place around the corner a bit from our hotel. Gerry's is so good and they give you ridiculously huge portions for around $6.50 euros. Home cooked styled food and Gerry the owner is so personable and fun. I recommend this place for breakfast lunch and dinner. the fried cod is so tasty! the breakfast sausages are to die for.
Random pics of downtown Dublin area
Lots of really cool pubs and here are some random pics of us and one of Miklos a friend of Kipp's from Hungary.
Dublin had so many people from all over the world. It was crowded and full of young people. There were more Asian and Middle Eastern restaurants than I have ever seen, and I think i only saw 2 Irish restaurants. I never got a chance to try some "real" curry but we ate at this place called The Cave (French and Italian) and it was one of the best meals all 3 of us ever had.
We rented a car for one day and Lord I am surprised we survived! The driving is so strange, not just because we are used to a different side of the raod but the roads didnt seem as wide, street signs are almost non existant, and lots of one ways and pedestrian streets. With all the differences I never saw an accident scene like around here (I4) (95).
The people were very nice and we really enjoyed our stay and visit with Kipp.
Oh and the Queen was landing as we were leaving, would of loved to have seen her.
Oh Jinx, How wonderful you got to visit Kipp!
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit Ireland and your pictures just confirm it!

I felt like I was right with you- going through your photos as you toured the country! It's wonderful and amazing and I would love to go one day! Looks like Ireland is agreeing with Kipp, Jinx - and I'm sure the boys were really glad to see you get home! Thanks for sharing a piece of your heart... love you!!
ReplyDeleteCarol, the pics are great! You all look so happy, but especially Kipp. I know Ireland must have been beautiful, and I bet you hated to leave. The hotel room looks gorgeous itself!
